DHAKA, Sept 12, 2026 (BSS) - Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Musleh Uddin Ahmed today said the police would ensure a safe and peaceful environment in the capital through impartial, professional and people-oriented services.

"Through impartial, professional and pro-people services, we will build a safe and peaceful environment for businessmen, ordinary citizens and children," he said.

He was speaking at a law-and-order discussion with local residents at Basila Police Camp in the capital this afternoon.

The Mohammadpur Police Station under DMP's Tejgaon Division organised the meeting to discuss ways to improve the overall law-and-order situation in the area, take a tougher stance against drugs, ease traffic congestion and strengthen public safety.

The DMP commissioner said stronger ties between police and the public, coupled with greater direct participation of citizens, could help eliminate crimes such as theft and snatching as well as traffic congestion and local disputes.

Speaking at the meeting, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Director General and Additional IGP Md Ahsan Habib Palash urged parents to take greater responsibility for preventing drug abuse, online gambling and juvenile gangs, saying families have the primary responsibility for monitoring their children's movements and behaviour.

The RAB chief also called on citizens to play a courageous role, without fear, in strengthening law and order in their communities.

Senior officials of DMP and RAB and local residents attended the meeting.
